Orthopedic shoes are recommended by doctors for people suffering with ankle or foot pain, frequent leg sprains, and foot disorders. The unique design of orthopedic footwear facilitates better blood flow to the feet and reduces swelling and pain. These shoes, as a result, are ideal for people suffering from chronic pain. Looking at the stats, more than 75% of Americans suffer for some kind of foot pain at some point in their life. The occurrence is more or less the same for other countries and the growth of sedentary lifestyle is only facilitating the condition to worsen. While the elderly is more likely to develop the condition, chronic foot pain has even been reported among kids below the age of 5 years.

Orthopedic shoes make walking more comfortable, helping you have more energy in the legs and feet. Contrary to the popular belief, several footwear manufacturers are even coming up with trendy designs for orthopedic shoes, making them a convenient item to be worn at all times.
